Playing devils advocate, security clearances will stay active til they fall off and not renewed. At least that’s how it was with mine, I still had a clearance even after a left the military. Higher level clearances might have different rules and procedures tho
I'm pretty sure that the enemy made a lot of hay about revoking Trump's security clearance...didn't they? I can't recall if they actually did, or just screeched about it.
You are kind of correct but not completely. When you leave your position your clearance goes inactive. It can be picked up by another office and reactivated but only if it is not expired. If it is expired or even close to expiring, your new place of business will have to do a PR (Periodic Reinvestigation). They generally expire every 5 years.
To have a clearance (active) your business has to host the clearance and do the periodic security briefings while you need that access. When you no longer work there, the clearance goes inactive but it is still on the books. If a new company offers to host the clearance and has the facilities to do it your clearance can be reactivated (if you require that access).

Yes, they yelled about not even giving him the Presidential briefing that ex presidents typically receive.
Do you recall what actually happened? Didn't they actually cut Trump out of the PDB at some point?
Biden removed Trump's security clearance in Feb 2021. But this was not removed.
I think this info is coming out from Trump's lawyers. It seems like they didn't know about this Q clearance until this discovery was provided to them.
My assumption is this was overlooked
Very intersting... and Thanks; I thought they did revoke his security clearance.....

No. They drop off after you are read off.
